A Lesson From The Umbrellas

Top post on IndiBlogger, the biggest community of Indian Bloggers

The College Annual Day was a fortnight away.
Students of different religions had different views.

The Principal wanted each student to participate in some way.
There was a notice asking every student to lend her/his umbrella for the decoration.
Attendance was compulsory. Students were to collect their umbrellas after the celebration.

The Annual Day presented a colourful picture with umbrellas of different colours in neat rows above.

Seeing the sunlight and interesting sight and the cool shade and multi-coloured light, the Principal addressed, "Together we look bright and attractive just like our umbrellas. Let’s accept, tolerate and coexist harmoniously..."

    The Principal has sent a strong and pertinent message to the students who are the backbone of the nations. A thought provoking story.

    Nothing wrong with that message at all. If we're excellent to each other, we can't go wrong. What a lovely take on the picture. Jilly, Sugar on the Bee
